“…Cultural activity event attendance, that is, seeing a movie or a concert, and informal cultural action, that is, participating in community cultural activities and amateur artistic productions or reading a book, 1 correspond to everyday events done for enjoyment, entertainment, recreation or as a contribution to society. 2 Countries around the world, including Norway, encourage participation in cultural activities based on the notion that such activities can promote the population’s health and well-being. 1–3 Further evidence is still needed to empirically support this belief.…”

“…Taking part in cultural activities can be ‘passive’ (ie, receptive mode—sports event, concerts, theatre and so on) or ‘active’ (ie, creative mode—playing musical instruments, outdoor activities and so on). 1–3 Active participation modes are commonly studied in relation to population health; both modes are rarely examined together and investigated simultaneously. The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT Study) in Norway provides a rare opportunity to profile participants' cultural pattern due to the rich information collected on receptive and creative participation.…”

BackgroundCultural activities can promote health and longevity, but longitudinal studies examining a broad spectrum of participation are scarce. This study investigated the gender-specific association between all-causes of mortality and participation in single types of cultural activities, amount and participation frequency.MethodsWe used cohort data from the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT Study), Norway (2006–2008), resulting in 35 902 participants, aged 20 and above. Cultural participation in receptive and creative activities was measured. HRs were reported for partially and fully adjusted models.ResultsA total of 1905 participants died during the median 8-year follow-up. Mortality risk was higher for non-participants in any receptive or creative activities, except sport event attendees. Gender association was also evaluated: among men, we found similar results as above except for parish work, while women increased their longevity only through creative activity participation. When a number of receptive activities was associated with all-cause mortality, reduced risk occurred with attendance in 2 or 3–4 activities (21% and 31%, respectively). Risk was reduced through creative activities, with participation in 3–5 activities (43%). Gender-specific analyses showed a clear gradient of protective effect in creative activity participation: for men, 28%, 44% and 44% reduction with 1, 2 or 3–5 activities, respectively, and a 28%, 35% and 44% reduction for women.ConclusionFrequently attending at least one cultural activity influenced longevity. Creative activities lowered mortality in both genders, while receptive activity benefits were mostly found for men. Thus, promoting and facilitating engaged cultural lifestyles are vital for longevity.

Nurse Perceptions of Artists as Collaborators in Interprofessional Care Teams

et al. 2017

Increased attention is being given to interprofessional collaboration in healthcare, which has been shown to improve patient satisfaction, patient safety, healthcare processes, and health outcomes. As the arts and artists are being more widely incorporated into healthcare settings throughout the world, professional artists are contributing to interprofessional care teams. A secondary directed content analysis of interviews with 31 nurses on a medical-surgical care unit investigated the roles and impacts of professional artists on the interprofessional care team. The investigation utilized established domains of interprofessional care, including values and ethics, roles and responsibilities, interprofessional communication, and teams and teamwork, and created the domain of quality of care. Findings suggest that artists are valued by nurses as members of the interprofessional care team, that they enhance the provision of patient-centered care, and that they improve quality of care by providing holistic dimensions of caring, including cognitive and social engagement, and meaningful interaction. The presence of artists on interprofessional teams provides a cost-effective and welcome resource for clinical staff and builds a culture in which creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration are more highly valued and activated.

Innovation and equity in public health research : testing arts-based methods for trauma-informed, culturally-responsive inquiry.

As the field of Public Health has shifted from a biomedical paradigm to a social ecological approach, focusing on health equity and social determinants of health, it has increasingly acknowledged the roles of culture and trauma in health outcomes. The field has responded by modifying some research practices, but continues to prioritize conventional methodologies-with few options designed to foreground trauma-and cultural-responsiveness. Unfortunately, to the extent that conventional approaches require health to be defined, communicated, or valued according to dominant norms, they risk perpetuating inequities. Health equity therefore requires the development of research methodologies that increase inclusivity and access, elicit and apply diverse knowledges, reduce intrusion, and incorporate sociocultural factors. Using design thinking, and drawing upon critical theory, hermeneutics, photovoice, and arts in health research, this study developed and tested three methodological prototypes for researching a potentially traumatizing topic (violence) among a vulnerable population (young women ages 11-21). The first prototype collected vi creative writing from an ongoing youth detention intervention; the second utilized a themed citywide writing contest; and the third obtained the script for a play about sexual and relational violence, written and performed by local survivors without researcher elicitation. Methods: All prototype-generated data (combined n = 126) were iteratively analyzed for documented experiences, needs, assets, and priorities related to violence. Four conventional violence-related surveys, administered among the three sample populations (combined n = 1862), were also analyzed. Extensive comparative evaluations were then conducted of all findings and methods, assessing quality/quantity of information, trauma responsiveness, and cultural responsiveness. Results: Findings from the arts-based methods addressed 64 to 89 percent of the same variables as the surveys, while the surveys addressed only 36 to 49 percent of the artsbased data variables. The three prototypes juxtaposed needs with assets, accommodated expressive choice, and involved minimal researcher intrusion-rendering them trauma and culturally responsive. They also generated impactful insights inaccessible via surveys, such as unconventional definitions of violence. The prototypes aided disclosure (thus improving data), were time-and cost-effective, and offered significant potential for research reciprocity. As such, they offer promising models for continued methodological innovation in advancement of health equity. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS
